Residential Land

We monitor residential developments and housing completion rates across North Somerset and produce a Residential Land Survey each year.

The Residential Land Survey provides a summary of the number of new homes that are built each year across the district. 

We obtain the details of sites that need to be surveyed from planning permission approvals. A visit is made to each site to record how many houses and flats have been completed, how many are under construction and how many have not yet been started.

The survey includes both large sites (developments of 10 or more dwellings or with a site area larger than 0.5 hectares) and small sites (sites with less than 10 dwellings).

The Residential Land Survey is an important document that is used to monitor and review housing policies and inform the Annual Monitoring Report.

You can now download our publication copy of the Residential Land Survey April 2010 (pdf, April 2010, 588kb). To purchase a full copy of the document, including the schedule of sites, please view our publications page
